Snowfall Totals from December 9, 1995
STORM DESCRIPTION
The combination of a strong arctic cold front and developing coastal
storm brought another round of snow to New Jersey.
Synoptic Discussion
A low pressure system exited the Rocky Mountains the morning of the
8th. As it moved into the Great Lakes during the evening of the
8th, a second storm system developed along the North Carolina coast the
morning of the 9th. It moved northeast, passing very close to New
Jersey during the afternoon before reaching Rhode Island that night.
Local Discussion
Snow began falling during the predawn hours of the 9th throughout New
Jersey. The snow started changing to rain during the morning in
southern New Jersey, but it took most of the day for the changeover to
occur in northwest New Jersey. In extreme northwest Sussex County
the precipitation never changed to rain and ended as a period of
sleet. Accumulations increased from south to north. Little,
if any, fell along the coast. Less than 1 inch fell in inland
sections of southeastern New Jersey. 1 to 2 inches fell in
southwestern New Jersey, 2 to 5 inches in central and northeastern New
Jersey, and 5 to 7 inches in northwestern New Jersey.
